Mon, 15 Oct 2012 17:56:19 +0000http://hotair.com/?p=223765#comment-6372741The cost of dust remediation is a cost for using the water that should have flowed into the dry lake. The diversion of its tributary waters was already causing the lake water level to decline — from the wiki it appears that the lake has no effective outlet, i.e. it could overflow into the desert, but that’s about it and may have happened thousands of years ago — and the water department taking pretty much the rest resulted in much of the current problem.

I would be more sympathetic to the water department’s position if the area they are being required to remediate is outside of the area that was underwater when the diversion began. Then one might presume it was not their fault that dust came off THAT portion of the dry lake. Otherwise, welcome to the cost associated with “cheap” water.

It’s not like you can ask them to go a little further east…that would still be desert.

Those are all dry lakebeds from eons ago when Nevada was an inland sea. When the Rockies sprung up, they isolated a chunk of sea, and it evaporated over thousands of years.. This article is talking about a freshwater lake that was drained by MAN 100 years ago. Now the environmental wacko loons in LA are complaining about other environmental wacko loons forcing unreasonable demands on them. Completely different scenarios: dry lakebed act of God, vs. dry lakebed act of man.

I would say the same for Tuscon and Vegas. If you are straining to get water resources for existing residents, it is criminal to allow development to encourage new residents to move in. That is a consequence of progressivism. They need to keep expanding the tax base to support unsustainable programs. Now the progs are butting up against the enviros, this is fun.

Good thing there’s no other big dried up lakes out there.

Awesome map.

I drive through there several times a year, going FROM CA TO Idaho. (Note how I never go the other way).

The Great Basin and Range. I fly it several times a year also. Lets see, on this heading, do we want to fly over this dry lake bed, or that dry lake bed over the next ridge?

Some pretty country, some times of the year. People work hard every day scratching out a living out there.

Me, I’m just some hick from flyover country who doesn’t understand how you can have a “sustainable” community which can’t even supply its own water.

The whole state of California should be broken up into at least two states. I hope that is one of the conditions of their bailout (if we bail them out).

William Eaton on October 13, 2012 at 10:26 PM

No.

Two states would give them 4 senators.

On top of that… if we do bail them out… their congressmen/senators should have no voting weight until all debts are paid. There should be consequences for fiscal failure of this magnitude (and us having to cover for them as a result).

Wall the place off and turn off their water, and let them fight to the death.

(more general murmurs of agreement)
Reg:
All right… all right… but apart from Apple Computers and medicine and education and agriculture and the ports and roads and the wine and The Rose Parade… what have the Californians done for us?

…now look at the first few comments here!…Ric at Night is probably emailing Ed right now about the “violent rhetoric” emanating from this site!…I for one will stand against this type of vitriol and show some kinds of sensitivity!
